On the other side of the spectrum, Pro-Marcos groups call for the nation to move past the Martial Law. However, VP Leni said that burying Marcos in the Hero's Cemetery will not heal the wounds of the past.

“Our nation’s healing begins with the acknowledgment of the truth and resolution of the past. To bury Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani would keep the wounds of the past unhealed.”

The Court ruled that President Duterte's decision to bury Marcos at the Hero's Cemetery was not a grave abuse of discretion.

Furthermore, the Court ruled that Duterte may reserve any public land for public use, which includes burying the former President.
